I feel safe here. I can say what I like here, I can unburden and I never feel judged. I feel grounded when I’m here. I feel like me again. And I have hope.

Get Involved
We are all connected. A personal relationship, a comparable experience or simply living in the same community, our circles may run parallel and never touch, intersect one or two times, or blend together on a continual basis. Whether direct connections or indirect links, we need collaborators and supporters to help unlock potentials and build foundations for resilience.
Our small team is working hard to build up the strength in those around us — and we could use your help.
